Six Gifts That Don’t Cost a Cent

So many of the times when I post it is regarding national news or real estate. Today is Christmas Eve and I am spending the days with 3 of my amazing grandchildren and we are going out to lunch and a movie. That would be a perfect day for me. I just received the note below from a friend and thought I would pass it along. I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas Holiday.

Six Gifts That Don’t Cost a Cent

The Gift of Listening…But you must really listen. Don’t interrupt, don’t daydream, don’t plan your response. Just listen.

The Gift of Affection…Be generous w/appropriate hugs, kisses, pats on the back. Let these small actions demonstrate the love you have for family & friends.

The Gift of Laughter…Clip cartoons, share articles & stories. Your gift will say, “I love to laugh w/you.”

The Gift of a Favor…Every day, go out of your way to do something kind.

The Gift of a Written Note…It can be a simple “Thanks for the help” note or a full sonnet. A brief, handwritten note may be remembered for a lifetime.

The Gift of a Compliment…A simple & sincere, “You look great in red,” “You did a super job,” or “That was a wonderful meal” can make someone’s day.
